1.2 Terms used
Memory plug Plug with storage medium Memory plug empty Setting at the factory�
No parameter set is saved in the memory plug� The memory plug has to be connected to a sensor or a PC system in order to save a valid parameter set�
Memory plug full A valid parameter set is available in the memory of the
memory plug�
Memory plug transparent
The memory plug is transparent if after successful saving of the parameters all unfiltered sensor signals are transmitted to the higher-level system� For further data operation the operating voltage or the connection sensor - memory plug must be interrupted once�
[Write protected] If the memory plug is empty (no parameter set saved),
one parameter set can be written to the memory plug once�
If the memory plug is full (a parameter set is saved), it is protected against further writing�
[Read/Write] The memory plug is not protected against overwriting� The
internal data set is overwritten when the memory plug is connected to a sensor�
Sensor of the same type
Sensors of the same type have the same IO-Link device ID or can take this ID in the compatibility mode� However, they do have a different serial number�
Identical sensor Physically identical device: The serial number of the sensor
and the saved parameter set are the same�
IODD Abbreviation for IO Device Description� It is a file describing
the parameters of the IO-Link devices� This file can be interpreted by machines� An IODD is assigned to each IO-Link device ID�

3 Factory setting
On delivery the memory plug is empty (no parameter set saved)�
When the supply voltage is applied, the LED WRITE flashes slowly (1 Hz)�
In this state one parameter set can be written to the memory plug once� Then it changes to the mode [Write protected]�
To write a new parameter set to the device, the memory plug has to be reset to the factory setting (→ 6.6 Configure the memory plug via LR DEVICE)
4 Functions and features
The memory plug saves parameter sets of IO-Link devices� It offers the following options:
Bi-directional backup for IO-Link V1�1 sensors�
Bi-directional backup for IO-Link V1�0 sensors from ifm electronic�
Preconfiguration as data carrier via PC�
4.1 Applications without PC
Save the parameter set of a sensor once → 6.1.
Save the parameter set of a sensor continuously → 6.2.
Copy the parameter set of a sensor (copy to several sensors of the same type; e�g� in series production or for fast set-up) (→ 6.3 Copy the parameter set of a sensor)
Set the parameters of replacement sensors (without using further tools, without configuration tools or menu handling) (→ 6.4)
Restore the parameter set of a sensor (e�g� during start-up of an installation) (→ 6.5)

4.2 Applications with IO-Link master and LR DEVICE
(software)
Configure the memory plug via LR DEVICE (software) → 6.6.
Write the data stored on the memory plug → 6.6.1.
Read and edit the data stored on the memory plug → 6.6.2.
4.3 Basic operating conditions
Negative switching sensors are not supported�
The memory plug cannot be used with IO-Link actuators�
IO-Link sensors with COM3 are not supported�
The memory plug is intended for saving the data of IO-Link sensors used without IO-Link master�
Data in the parameter set of the sensor protected by an access code cannot be overwritten by the memory plug�
The memory plug saves / writes data after the following operations�
After application of the supply voltage�
After interrupting and restoring the connection between the memory plug and the sensor�
After saving the parameters all sensor signals are linked through without being changed� The output function of the sensor, its quality and speed remain unchanged� An integrated memory plug does not influence the complete system� Recommended operating mode: Operation in the [Write protected] mode is recommended� This mode ensures that a parameter set saved in the memory plug is not unintentionally overwritten� In the [Read/Write] mode the memory plug is not write-protected! The manufacturer of an IO-Link sensor is responsible for providing all parameters necessary for an exchange� The memory plug reads this information from the sensor and saves exactly these parameters� The memory plug cannot be used in a system with IO-Link master� The functionality of the system cannot be guaranteed�

Do not install a brand new memory plug before setting the sensor parameters�
If the memory plug is installed before parameter setting is completed, the parameter set defined at this point will be saved and any further parameter change of the connected sensor will be reversed with the next data exchange�

8 Troubleshooting
For all errors the following applies:
The parameter set in the memory plug remains� It is not damaged by faulty reading or writing�
The error remains until it has been removed�
If the memory plug detects an error, the transmission of the sensor output (OUT1, pin 4) to the higher-level system is stopped�
Error in data processing Cause of the fault Corrective measures Sensor cable removed during transmission� ► Connect the sensor cable to the memory
plug again�
Unknown sensor connected, e�g�
• IO-Link 1�0 sensor of another manufacturer�
• Sensor not equipped with IO-Link �
► Connect an IO-Link 1�0 sensor from ifm
electronic�
► Connect an IO-Link 1�1 sensor�
The sensor does not support any saving of data�
► Connect a sensor supporting IO-Link
and saving of data (→ data sheet of the
sensor)�
Sensor locked, writing impossible� ► Unlock the sensor or connect an
unlocked sensor�
The identification of the connected sensor does not correspond to the parameter set in the memory plug�
Cause of the fault Corrective measures The connected sensor is neither of the
same type nor compatible�
► Connect a sensor of the same type (=
sensor with the same IO-Link device ID) or another compatible sensor�
